01

The problem

A Toronto-area design studio led by Steve Goode, offering branding, content, digital, print and packaging design.

  • A broad set of creative services and a varied portfolio had to feel curated, not like a list.
  • The interactive details the designer wanted had to stay fast and easy to navigate.

02

The solution

  • WordPress with Elementor and OceanWP, plus custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the studio's interactive elements, slider content and custom cursor.
  • Services, process and selected-work sections with enquiry and opt-in forms.

03

Security and privacy

  • HTTPS, hardened plugin set and backups

Results

  • Live at shapevscolour.com.
  • One of many projects in a five-year collaboration with Steve and Distill Designs.

Over the past five years, Dawood and his team have become the developers I trust most. We've collaborated on numerous projects together, and their professionalism, technical expertise, and unwavering reliability have made them an invaluable partner in delivering high-performance solutions. One of the things I appreciate most is their approach to problem-solving. No matter the challenge, Dawood and his team are quick to respond, thoughtful in their recommendations, and always willing to put in the extra effort to find the right solution. They don't simply complete the work; they take ownership of the project and genuinely want it to succeed. As someone who's worked with many developers throughout my career, I can say with confidence that Dawood and his team stand out for both the quality of their work and the way they work with people. They're collaborative, proactive, and consistently exceed expectations. I highly recommend Dawood and his team to anyone looking for a reliable development partner.
